Wireless Printer problem

markst33

I recently had to reinstall the o/s on my laptop and as a result lost all the drivers etc for my Epson SX445W wireless printer.

I could not find the disk to reinstall it so I contacted epson and they gave me a link to the drivers for download.

I did this last night but I cannot get it to work wirelessly. I get a "communication error" on the Printer display. It works when I hook it up via usb.

Anyone got any ideas how I get this working wirelessly. I can see the wireless icon on the printer display so it is seeing the signal.

Not too familiar with this model of printer but....
Usually, when you first get the printer however you run the software that came with it. Connect the printer via USB (at first), the software asks you what network you want to connect the printer to and indeed the wireless key for that network.
After that you can disconnect the USB and the printer is available to you via wireless.
Did the printer lose it's settings at any time do you think?
Have you tried looking at the manual/other software available here:
